*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: WEDNESDAY 17TH JULY, 2019*
*TOPIC: MAKES CROSS WHEN YOUR NO MEANING ANYMORE!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURES: 1SAMUEL 8:1-6; MARK 8:34*
The young man was at the end of his rope! Seeing no way out he dropped to his knees in prayer:
"Lord, I can’t go on. I have too heavy a cross to bear." The Lord replied, “My son. if you can’t bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room, then open that other door and pick up any 'cross you wish'.” The young man was filled with relief! “Thank you. Lord.” he sighed and he did as he was told. On entering the other door, he saw many crosses, some so large the tops were not visible.
Then he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. “I desire that one Lord.” he said.’ And the Lord replied amazingly “My son, that was the cross you just brought in the explanation was that the cross the young man was complaining about, was what he was admiring somewhere else’ And so it is with many souls! The truth is that most people admire the crosses of others, but pity themselves. The people also told Samuel: “Make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” Were they aware of the pain “(the crosses) of the her nations. Were they aware the pain evil the kings of those nations have caused those nations? Ah! There is a I strong prophetic word in my spirit for a user of this devotional right now: *“Everyone you see around has a cross to bear! Envy no one!*
*Pity not yourself! Some crosses are hidden but heavy! Others are visible, but the determinant of the ease of any cross is My GRACE! No cross is pleasant for the now, but in your latter weeks and months/years, the reason you were allowed to bear it, shall show forth! Rest in My unfailing love and uncommon grace! Allow ME to complete My work in you. I am the Potter with a plan! At the end, your life shall have a meaning out of the present, crushing melodrama! Yes, you have asked questions, but My loud silence shall not be forever! Wait on Me my child, for by and by, your understanding shall be enlightened and your steps shall be established. Wait on Me for grace! Yet again I say, wait on ME! I shall yet move you from STORY to GLORY and not into shame! Yes! Your waiting for Me shall not be in vain and the glory shall be Mine."* When life’s problems seem overbearing and life seems unfair, always remember that you are not the worst! Look up to God! Trust Him daily!
*Today is Day 11 of the 14-day fasting programme. PRAY THE GENERAL PRAYERS ON PAGE 97 AND PRAYERS ON PAGE 57 OF THE “WAR AGAINST HAMAN-14” BOOKLET.*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 1: What a friend…
1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led.
2. Pray about that nagging challenge (cross) again.
3. Pray over the prophetic words in this write-up now.
